+## Multi-Database Support
+
+By default, all SQL in a durable function runs in the database where the extension is installed (the `pg_durable.database` GUC, typically `postgres`). You can target a different database on the same cluster by passing the `database` parameter to `df.start()`.
+
+### Running SQL in Another Database
+
+```sql
+-- Run a query in the 'analytics' database
+SELECT df.start(
+    'INSERT INTO reports (date, total) SELECT now(), count(*) FROM events',
+    'daily-report',
+    'analytics'
+);
+
+-- Using named parameter syntax (skip the label)
+SELECT df.start(
+    'SELECT 1',
+    database => 'analytics'
+);
+```
+
+All SQL nodes in the function execute against the specified database. The DSL itself (`~>`, `&`, `df.sql()`, etc.) is unchanged — database is purely a property of the instance.
+
+### Key Points
+
+- **One database per invocation.** All SQL in a single `df.start()` call targets the same database. For cross-database workflows, start separate durable functions per database, or use `dblink`/`postgres_fdw` within your SQL.
+- **Backwards compatible.** Omitting `database` (or passing NULL) uses the extension database — existing queries are unaffected.
+- **Validated at submission time.** If the database doesn't exist, `df.start()` raises an immediate error.
+- **Role isolation preserved.** The function runs as the user who called `df.start()`, not the background worker. The login role must be able to connect to the target database (`GRANT CONNECT`).
+
+### Example: Multi-Tenant Processing
+
+```sql
+-- Process data in each tenant database
+SELECT df.start(
+    'CALL refresh_materialized_views()',
+    'tenant-alpha-refresh',
+    'tenant_alpha'
+);
+
+SELECT df.start(
+    'CALL refresh_materialized_views()',
+    'tenant-beta-refresh',
+    'tenant_beta'
+);
+```
